You’re the invisible quest-setter of any and every RPG/MMO, providing cash prizes for noble deeds. You make them more arsed by adding more cash, until finally someone shrugs and trudges over there.
You don’t select them and manually send them there – you just drop a flag, suggesting somewhere they could go or something they could fight to if they can be arsed. Heroes attack, explore or defend because you’ve set a reward for them to do so. You don’t directly control anyone in this sorta-RTS.
And Majesty 2's AI-controlled, massively selfish heroes turn the mirror on us. We want gold, and we want to watch a bunch of numbers increase - because we are greedy and self-obssessed. It tears away the pretend philanthropy and nobility of fantasy heroes, leaving the terrible truth of what we really play most RPGs and MMOs for. There’s something rather scathing about Majesty 2. I confess I've never played the first game, but I was intrigued enough by this decade-on sequel to take a nose. Don't think there's going to be a "pure summoner" build -you're going to still be casting a lot of spells as a main offense (which is fine, imo), but man Parasite is entertaining.The sequel to Microprose/Cyberlore's 2000 RTS/RPG/management game has just hit, this time handled by one of Russian omni-developer/publisher 1C's many studios. The ranged zombie is slightly better but still sucks. In terms of "summoning" in this game, the golem is good/decent at holding aggro/surviving. Purchase it immediately when the shop (randomly) has it, it's the bomb. The skill is called "Parasite" - only one possessed minion at a time and ofc it's only as good as what you posses, but they last until they die/you exit the game (or alter gear too much I think?). This resulted in total hilarity as his summons kept automatically moving sloit did drop my (4k/ultra) fps. I still haven't used the actual dodge button, I keep running (or use a teleport spell when I actually remember what hotkey I set for it), like I've done in every arpg, instead. I like that most of the mini-bosses have big "tells" or animations. As a consequence, many of the usual strategies simply fall flat, and that's great. Hell, it's basically a PVP map in disguise.

For example: if I remember correctly, there is only one scenario ("The Siege"? I think) which aims to emulate what it would be like to play against another kingdom with full access to player advantages and mechanics: bounties, spells, and so on. Which, ultimately, makes them somewhat boring.Įven though I love the game to death, I wish the game had included more scenarios which would require the player to think out of the box rather than run a simple binary choice. That said, I've always felt like the hardest Majesty scenarios are usually of the villain-of-the-week variety, and thus - unless the scenario comes with a specific restriction - paladins end up being the safest and most universal choice. Generally speaking, though, both god routes seem to have been designed to answer different kinds of threats: Agrela/Dauros counters bosses and elites, Krypta/Fervus counters hordes. Priestesses are amazing for tanking dragons. I don't disagree that the Krypta/Fervus combo has its merits. Cultists are my favorite heroes overall, but unless the map has a high number of beast monsters, they end up becoming a "for fun" choice more than anything else (nevertheless, hordes of knife-throwing bears are cool). (Warriors of Discord are useless)Įmphasis on -some- maps. High level cultists will just charm half the monsters on some maps. A tier 1 Krypta and Fervus will fill the map with an army though.
